Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Hydrocolloid is technically not an INCI ingredient. It is a type of material used to dress uninfected wounds.
Hydrocolloid is coated with a mix of gelatin, pectin, xanthan gum, carrageenan, and other biopolymers.
Hydrocolloid patches made for treating pimples often have other ingredients, such as tea tree oil, salicylic acid, niacinamide, glycolic acid, and more. Unfortunately, unless a company discloses this information, we won't have a way to know what other ingredients are present.
When hydrocolloid is applied to a wound, the polysaccharides and polymers absorb water to form a gel. These moist conditions help promote wound healing without breaking down cell tissue.
A study from 2021 found Hydrocolloid may aid in scar healing.

love this patch! i have a pretty bad habit of picking at my pimples, but this help me prevent that. this is a constant repurchase item. i wear it overnight and it truly help to minimize and drain my pimple. however, it does a better job when the pimple is ripe (you can see the white pus or is popped). otherwise, it doesn’t drain for me, but it still helps make is less swollen. i like to cut it in Show more
They are the best pimple patches ever! They stick very well to the skin, and get out the gunk out of the pimples really well!
